You throw out a continuation bet since you're most likely going to be first to act since you raised pre-flop, then you end up getting called down by the fish with Ax. You're losing a lot of BB's here that way at 25NL, IMO.
I like a raise in many of the games I've been playing in. Continuation bets work a lot because many players are too weak to play back, but too strong to call down light; they tend not to go broke in unraised pots and I can take a free turn card if I'd like. However, in a loose $25 NL or just about any Live game under $1k where players give way too much action in unraised pots, limping is clearly the best play.
All I've been playing are live games, so maybe my opinion is a bit skewed here. I can see where you're coming from.
